Frosty temperatures expected in the U.S. Midwest on Saturday could threaten newly planted corn crops and developing soft red winter wheat, meteorologists said on Wednesday.
Reuters reports temperatures early on Saturday are expected to drop to 30 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 C) as far south as Kentucky, with lows in the upper 20s F (-4 to -2 C) in parts of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, said Drew Lerner, agricultural meteorologist with World Weather Inc.
